The next yard project, taken from a 1922 architectural magazine! It'll be downsized a bit, but hopefully it'll come out looking much like the photo!

See the vertical streaks and the little "stars?" Ice melting in the sun and falling off the branches.

A "ham" duck at the local park....he/she really liked having pix taken....

Those are Joshua Trees, right, Vicki? Those are so neat. The soap tree Yuccas were prevalent in New Mexico where I use to live.

Our ship, the MS Statendam waiting for the orange tender to bring passengers back from Sitka, AK.

Jodi-

Great pictures today everyone!!!

Casey - did you do something to that picture - it looks more like a painting than a photo. Wonderful!!

Jodi - how do the passengers get back into the ship? Looks like a long way up.

Lydia, here are a couple photos of how the passengers get back on board the ship. These were taken in Russia.

This photo is odd in the fact that the water and mountains are reflected on the side of a ship that wasn't terribly reflective. The sun's rays must have been just perfect.

Yes, Ron, those are joshua trees and I find them quite interesting. Sometimes, they look like people.

I love all the pictures today. Hard to pick a favorite.
